  • Holy Trinity; We Hope and Trust That God Will Call You Too
    OPEN DOORS, OPEN SPACES, OPEN MINDS holytrinityskipton.org.uk [email protected] 01756 793622 Welcome We are looking for a Rector who can build on our recent growth and continue to maintain our presence as ‘The Church at the Top of the High Street’, playing a full part in civic life and working co-operatively throughout the town with community groups, businesses and other faiths and denominations. Please take time to read this brochure to learn a little more about us and about our parish. Many of our parishioners and visitors have felt called to Holy Trinity; we hope and trust that God will call you too. The Diocese of Leeds The Diocese of Leeds comprises five Episcopal Areas, each coterminous with an Archdeaconry. This is now one of the largest dioceses in the country and its creation is unprecedented in the history of the Church of England. It covers an area of around 2,425 square miles, and a population of around 2,642,400 people. The three former dioceses were created in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to cater for massive population changes brought about by industrialisation and, later, mass immigration. The diocese comprises major cities (Bradford, Leeds, Wakefield), large industrial and post-industrial towns (Halifax, Huddersfield, Dewsbury), a spa town (Harrogate), market towns (Skipton, Ripon, Richmond and Wetherby), and deeply rural areas (the Dales). The whole of life is here, along with all the richness, diversity and complexities of a changing world. The Diocesan Bishop (The Rt Rev’d Nick Baines) is assisted by five Area Bishops (Bradford, Huddersfield, Kirkstall, Wakefield and Ripon) and five archdeacons (Bradford, Halifax, Leeds, Pontefract, Richmond & Craven).

    AGENDA ITEM 7 Policy Committee – 10th September 2013 Proposal For North Yorkshire Business Rates Pool Report of the Corporate Head of Financial Management Ward(s) affected: All 1. Purpose of Report 1.1 To seek approval for the Council to join a North Yorkshire Business Rates Pool from April 2014 under the Governments Business Rates Retention Scheme. 2. Recommendations 2.1 That Policy Committee recommend to Council that: 2.2 That In order to meet the Government deadline of 31 October 2013 the negotiations for the terms and conditions of the Council’s membership of the pool are delegated to the Corporate Head of Finance in consultation with the Chief Executive and Leader of the Council. 2.3 That delegated authority be given to the Corporate Head of Finance in consultation with the Chief Executive, Leader of the Council and Lead Member for Finance, to join a business rate pool for 2014/15 should they be satisfied that such an arrangement is likely to be in the financial interests of the Council. 2.4 That a further report to update members is brought back to next meeting of Policy Committee on 19th November 2013. 3. Background Information 3.1 Under the rates retention scheme, which came into effect on 1 April 2013, local authorities are able to keep a proportion of the business rates that they collect. As a result, authorities now have a direct financial interest in the rates retention system and an incentive to work with their business community to grow local economies. 3.2 The rates retention scheme recognises that, at the outset of the scheme, the size of authorities’ business rates bases was varied and that authorities had, Page 1 of 11 and continue to have, very different resource needs, depending on their functions and demography.

  • Local Government Review in the Scarborough Borough Council Area, North Yorkshire
    Local Government Review in the Scarborough Borough Council Area, North Yorkshire Research Study Conducted for The Boundary Committee for England April 2004 Contents Introduction 3 Summary of Key Findings 5 Methodology 9 Definitions of Social Grade and Area 13 Topline Findings (Marked-up Questionnaire) 15 Introduction This summary report presents the key findings of research conducted by the MORI Social Research Institute on behalf of The Boundary Committee for England in the Scarborough Borough Council area, North Yorkshire. The aim of the research was to establish residents’ views about alternative patterns of unitary local government. Background to the Research In May 2003, the Government announced that a referendum would take place in autumn 2004 in the North East, North West and Yorkshire and the Humber regions on whether there should be elected regional assemblies. The Government indicated that, where a regional assembly is set up, the current two-tier structure of local government - district, borough or city councils (in this report called ‘districts’) and county councils - should be replaced by a single tier of ‘unitary’ local authorities. In June 2003, the Government directed The Boundary Committee for England (‘the Committee’) to undertake an independent review of local government in two-tier areas in the three regions, with a view to recommending possible unitary structures to be put before affected local people in a referendum at a later date. MORI was commissioned by COI Communications, on behalf of the Committee, to help it gauge local opinion. The research was in two stages. First, in summer 2003, MORI researched local residents’ views about local government and how they identify with their local community.
